INTRODUCTION 


In presenting the 1934 Year Book 
to our readers we are again reminded 
that in our church activities we have 
passed another milestone. As the years 
come and go we are impressed with 
the fact that we have one year less to 
serve and are one year nearer the end 
of our earth life and the coming of 
our Lord, when we must render an 
account: of our stewardship. ° 

One of the purposes of the Year 
Book is to give an account of the work 
that was done by our various organ- 
ized church activities during the year 
that is past. Hence we find in it not 
only articles representing these ac- 
tivities but statistics concerning the 
various conferences, boards, and gen- 
eral committees. We shall call atten- 
tion to a few outstanding items. The 
total membership of our branch of the 
Mennonite Church is now, as listed on 
page 76, 51,308, a gain over last year 
of 1,512 members. This is the first time 
in the history of the Mennonite Church 
in America that our number has gone 
over the 50,000 mark. The member- 
ship in the United ‘States is 45,071, an 
increase of 1,353 over last year’s re- 
port. We are encouraged to know that 
we are still a growing organization, 
even though we are a small body. May 
we grow Spiritually as well as numer- 
ically. 

A glance at the Sunday school sta- 
tistics on page 36 shows that 482 Sun- 
day schools are listed, with an enroll- 
ment of 69,038. This is an increase in 
enrollment over last year of 4,545. This 
year 5521 teachers are listed, an in- 
crease of 300 over last year. The num- 
ber of officers listed this year is 1743. 
Our army of Sunday school pupils and 
workers is constantly on the increase, 
for which we praise the Lord. 

The contributions for mission pur- 
poses have again fallen off during the 
past year. The total as given on page 
7 is $164,256.10, a decrease of $28,237. 


3 


98 from the amount contributed in 1932. 
This shows that the effects of the pro- 
longed financial depression are still be- 
ing felt quite decidedly in the offerings 
for missions. We trust that next year 
will show an increase. 


The Grim Reaper has taken quite a 
toll among the ordained men of the 
Church, as will be seen in the Sum- 
mary of Events for 1933. Twenty-four 
of our church leaders answered the last 
call during the past year. But we are 
comforted by the assurance that those 
who lay down their armor here con- 
tinue their service with the redeemed 
over yonder. We are glad to note also 
that as the ranks are depleted other 
men are ordained to take their places. 
There were forty-two ordinations last 
year. May these newly called workers 
be faithful to their sacred trust and lead 
the Church to higher ground spiritual- 
ly and be instruments in God’s hands 
to extend her borders still farther into 
unoccupied territory. 


Another outstanding event is found 
in the preparations to begin mission 
work in Africa. Two brethren have 
been ordained for this work, and at this 
writing Bros. Elam Stauffer and- Orie 
O. Miller are in the Dark Continent 
looking for a place to locate the pro- 
spective African Mennonite Mission. 
May the Lord lead. very definitely in 
this great undertaking. 


The past year is gone. We cannot 
change the work that has. been done. 
The opportunities that came to us then 
will never come again. From _ the 
Church angle much work has beea 
done, but, after all, probably, there is 
much more that we might have done 
had we been more faithful and dili- 
gent. May we yield our lives com- 
pletely to Him so that He may lead 
us to His glory and make us a bless- 


-ing in the work of His kingdom dur- 


ing 1934, 


4 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


MISSION ACTIVITIES FOR 1933 


By S. C. Yoder, Secretary of the Men- 
nonite Board of Missions and 
Charities ae 

The year 1933 is past. Its record 
has become a matter of history. The 
New Year stretches out before us and 
offers us all its splendid opportunities 
for service in the vineyard of the 
Iuard. -Tt-is’ not out of place; then, to 
take an inventory of the past in order 
that we may profit by our experience 
and plan wisely for the future. As we 
review the past year we find much 
that is encouraging and helpful in 
spite of the difficulties that were en- 
countered all along the way. 

From both India and South Amer- 
ica there come encouraging reports of 
eagerness for the Word and the ac- 
ceptance of the Gospel by many souls. 
The South American Mission shows 
a gain of more than thirty-six per 
cent in membership during the last 
year. This is very encouraging and in- 
dicates that in spite of conditions that 
generally discourage people, great 
things can be done for God when 
Christians put their trust and con- 
fidence in Him. 

In India we now have eight organ- 
ized congregations with 1,360 mem- 
bers. Besides this, the report shows 
that there are twenty stations and out- 
stations, twenty-two station Sunday 
schools and fifty-nine village Sunday 
schools with an average attendance of 
2,688 pupils each Sunday. There is al- 
so the Girls’ Boarding School, the 
Boys’ Orphanage, the Widows’ Home, 
the Leper Asylum, and the Old Men’s 
Home. In the way ‘of schools there 
is the Carpentry School, the Christian 
Academy and Bible School, the Girls’ 
Middle School, Girls’ Industrial School, 
four station primary schools, and five 
village primary schools. Besides the 
above institutions there is the Hospital 
and a number of dispensaries. 

At the close of the year there were 
on the Indian field twenty-four mis- 
sionaries, ten at home on furlough, 
and two under appointment. In ad- 


dition to our own missionaries we have 
twenty-five native evangelists and thir- 
ty-one native Bible women. Last year 
these native workers held 13,2/8 meet- 
ings, which averaged an attendance of 
twenty, consequently these natives 
taught the Scriptures or preached to 
265,560 people during their ministry. 
Time alone can tell what the fruits of 
this work will be. 

The South American work of our 
Church is only about half as old as 
that of India. On account of the con- 
dition of the country the work is di- 
rected along somewhat different lines 
than that of India. There are now 
fourteen organized congregations in 
charge of the missionary or native 
pastors, with a total membership of 
375. In addition to this there are five 
outstations that are being served by 
the pastors of the regular stations or 
churches. The report shows eighteen 
organized Sunday schools with an 
average attendance of 654. Last year 
there were employed nine native Bibie 
Readers who made a total of 3,892 
visits and spoke to 6,665 people. There 
is also a kindergarten in which there 
are enrolled 203 children and a pri- 
mary school with an enrollment of fif- 
ty-four. Owing to Bro. Nelson Lit- 
willer’s absence from the field the Bi- 
ble School was discontinued for the 
year. 

The Mennonite Printery in Argen- 
tina has proven a very helpful factor 
in evangelization. During the year ° 
180,000 copies of El Camino Verdadero 
(The True Way) were printed. This 
is an average of 15,000 per month. 


‘Ninety-three thousand copies were dis- 


tributed in our own district and 87,- 
000 were sent to other denominations 
who paid for same. La Voz Mennon- 
ita (The Mennonite Voice) is the 
name of the new Church periodical. 
It is hoped that it will become to the 


Argentine Church what the Gospel 
Herald is to the Church in North 
America. Some over three hundred 


copies are printed each issue. Besides 
the above periodicals there are print- 
ed each year thousands of tracts, 


AND: DIRECTORY: * ie 


handbills, and other material for use of 
the missionaries. 

The Orphanage is still without a 
home. It was hoped that a new build- 
ing might be erected during the year, 
but financial conditions made it im- 
possible. A small farm and adequate 
buildings are greatly needed to take 
care of the growing family of orphans, 
and it is to be” hoped, that ere- long 
conditions may make this possible. 

The work in the home field has been 
equally encouraging. There are now 
nine city missions directly under the 
Board. These stations are scattered 
from Toronto, Ontario, to Los Angel- 
es, California. Last year these mis- 
sions enrolled 2112 pupils in Sunday 
school and had a total membership of 
706. In addition to Sunday school and 
church work there is also much work 
being done among the young people 
during the week in order to provide 
wholesome companionship for them 
and keep them off the streets. During 
the last year there was some effort 
made to open a work among the Mex- 
ican people who have settled in Chi- 
cago. Bro. J. W. Shank directed this 
work during his stay in the city. 
Since his departure Bro. Nelson Lit- 
willer has given his time every other 
Sunday to keep this work going. 

The Welfare Home at Kansas City 
is much in need of enlarged and im- 
proved quarters. The workers at that 
place have exercised great patience 
and endured many inconveniences to 
help the children who come under 
their care. The matter of rebuilding 
the Home cannot be long deferred, 
and all who have an interest in that 
place should keep this need in mind 
when they make disposition of what 
the Lord has blessed them with. The 
Orphans’ Home at West Liberty, O., 
and the Home for the Aged at Eureka, 
Illinois, have been filled to capacity 
during the greater part of the year, 
and the workers at those places have 
done commendable work for the cause. 

The Hospital and Sanitarium at La 


Junta, Colorado, are in the process of 


a reorganization in order to meet the 


requirements. of the agencies with 
whom we have to do in order to oper- 
ate creditably. Sister Selena Gamber, 
A. B., R. N:, succeeds Sister Leichty 
as Superintendent of Nurses. Sister 
Leichty served temporarily the last 
few years to help out until some one 
else could be secured. Sister Esther 
Brenneman is now in New York tak- 
ing special work in preparation for her 
duties as Supervisor of the Sanitarium 
at La Junta. Among the other recent 
supervisors and instructors that have 
been added to the staff are Mary Hos- 
tetter, instructor in Nursing Tech- 
nique, and Ada Burkhart, Surgery and 
Obstetrics. Dr. Fred Brenneman, who 
is under appointment as missionary to 
India, has taken up the work as resi- 
dent physician until next June, at 
which time, if present plans carry, we 
will send him to India. 

In spite of the very distressing econ- 
omic condition there is much about 
the work that is encouraging. Mis- 
sionaries have cheerfully assumed add- 
ed burdens to make a continuation of 
the work possible. The Lord has bless- 
ed and honored their effort and has 
given them souls for their hire. They, 
together with all self-sacrificing givers, 
are to be commended for the way they 
rallied to the cause in’ these times of 
emergency. 

In conclusion we may well say with 
the Great Apostle: “We were troubled 
on every side but not distressed, we 
were perplexed but not in despair, ... 
cast down but not destroyed.” May it 
also be said of us that “we always 
bear in our bodies the dying of the 
Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus 
might be made manifest in our body.” 
If this is true then our light affliction 
which is but for a moment will work 
for us a far more exceeding and eter- 
nal weight of glory. 

Goshen, Ind. 





“Tf we have nothing to hold us up 
save ourselves, we are easily cast down. 
Ii we rest in the certainty of God’s 
power and way, we may be shaken, 
but never overthrown.”

THE INDIA MISSION 


By J. N. Kaufman 


The trend of events in 1933 were de- 
termined somewhat by circumstances. 
Extension in the usual sense of the 
term was not possible due to reduced 
remittances from the Home Church. 
Cuts in our monthly budget of six and 
one-fourth per cent and twelve and 
one-half percent for the greater part 
of the year meant economy in expendi- 
ture. Then when the announcement 
came in October that for the rest of 
the year our budget will be cut 25 per 
cent, it meant an immediate readjust- 
ment of finances on the field. A spe- 
cial meeting of the Managing Com- 
mittee was called to prepare an emer- 
gency budget on the basis of a twenty- 
five per cent cut. Some items in -toto 
were temporarily stricken from our 
expense account. ‘Conveyance allow- 
ances were reduced fifty per cent and 
Wwe missionaries are now trying to run 
our motor cars on five dollars a 
month! At our last annual meeting 
the question: “If a heavy budget cut 
should become necessary how could it 
be handled with the least hindrance 
to the work”? engaged our earnest at- 


tention. When lack of funds prevent 


entering open doors which show them- 


— 


selves on every hand we feel disap- 
pointed enough, but when it is neces- 
sary to retrench and close down work 
which has been maintained for years 
it means more than we can tell. We 
believe that the present crisis will 
eventually reveal some special riches 
of God’s grace which we have not as 
yet fathomed. 

Despite the above statement in ref- 
erence to extension two new buildings 
were under construction this year. 
One is the Nurse’s Bungalow in con- 
nection with the Medical Station. This 
is ready to occupy. The other is the 
new school building which is to house 
the Christian Academy. This building 
is not yet completed. Funds for both 
these ‘buildings were provided before 
the period of depression began in A- 
merica. 

The three-year experimental period 
for the working of the Evangelistic 
Samaj terminates this year. The Ad- 
visory Committee consisting of mem- 
bers appointed by the Mission and by 
the Conference had been watching de- 
velopments. While there were many 
good features in connection with this 
organization it was felt that the main 
object was not being accomplished. 
This committee, therefore, recom- 
mended to the Business Meeting that 
our present organization for evangel- 
istic work ‘be discontinued and a new 
arrangement be set up. The recom- 
mendation has already been adopted 
by the Business Meeting of the mis- 
sion and needs to be brought before 
the annual Conference for action. The 
Conference is almost certain to adopt 
the recommendation which follows: 


The Evangelistic Samaj was organ- 
ized on the present basis with the fol- 
lowing object in view: 

1. As the effective beginning in the 
transfer -of Mission work into Indian 
hands. 

2. To promote and foster the spirit 
of evangelism among the membership 
of our local churches. 

3. To encourage local contributions 
for the work of the evangelism. 

The Samaj has functioned for a pe- 
riod of nearly three years and there 
have been very important gains, chief- 
ly in the form of administrative ex- 


8 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


periences for the members of the 
Samaj. The Missionary 'members of 
the Samaj have appreciated the help- 
ful advice and valuable contributions 
made by the Indian members. The 
Samaj was able to make notable con- 
tributions to the cause of evangelism 
such as the institution of Gospel Teams 
and in placing the’ responsibility of 
Evangelism on the larger local con- 
gregations by removing paid evangel- 
ists from their respective areas. 
While’ we gratefully acknowledge 
the above contributions made by the 
Samaj, yet it is our considered opin- 
ion that the main object of the Samaj 
has not been accomplished. We be- 


lieve however, that the purpose of the 
Samaj as originally stated is sound. 


Because of the reasons as given a- 
bove, we make the following recom- 
mendations: 


1. That the Samaj as at present or- 
ganized be discontinued. 

2. That the local congregations 
carrying on evangelistic work in their 
respective areas and that the local 
panchayats be responsible for organ- 
izing this work. The Mission will car- 
ry on evangelistic work in accord- 
ance with their convenience and op- 
portunity. 

3. Local panchayats will carry on 
the evangelistic work by the advice of 
the Ministerial Meeting. 

4. All contributions received by the 
Samaj from local congregations for 
1933 shall be returned to the congre- 
gations as received from each. 

The balance of the Samaj 
shall be returned to the Mission.

The New Academy Building under Construction in India 


If the above is adopted it will mean 
that the local congregations will de- 
vise ways and means whereby more 
voluntary evangelistic work will be 
dene within their respective areas 
from the angle of the Church. The 
Mission will then carry on evangelistic 
work farther afield along lines that 
are still to be worked out. The whole 
aim will be to reach effectively the 
lost in our mission field, and win 
them for Christ. As the burden for 
the lost increases the work will be 
more effectively done. 


A few years .ago we ‘proposed a 
savings plan for our people for the 
reason that a number of those receiv- 
ing a regular salary are not as provi- 
dent as they should be and are not 
able to save for a “rainy. day.’;. The 
savings plan as then proposed had fea- 
tures which were deemed objection- 
able, whereupon a modified plan .was 
adopted which, while reserving the sav- 
ings feature, did away with the ob- 
jectionable element. The plan finally 
adopted, and which has been in oper- 
ation for a year, appears below: 


Compulsory Savings Plan 


1. We favour instituting a compul- 
sory savings plan for all mission em- 
ployees. 

2. A minimum of one anna per 
rupee shall be deducted at the source 
and deposited in the Post Office Sav- 


~ 





ings Bank in the name of the deposi- 
tor. 

_ 3. Deposits on the part of the em- 
ployee shall be compulsory for the 
duration of active service. 

4. Money deposited in the name of 

any employee is always considered as 
belonging to that person whether dur- 
ing service or after dismissal or resig- 
nation. : 
- 5, Monthly reports shall be made 
by the managers and sent by them at 
the close of each year to the Treasur- 
er of the Mission on a form provided 
for the purpose. No salaries are to be 
paid to employees until the previous 
deposits have been made. 

6. Rules for withdrawal: 

a. Ordinarily money cannot be 
withdrawn from the Savings Bank 
while the employee is in active serv- 
ice. 

b. In special cases, such as pro- 
longed illness, serious loss, or worthy 
investments, application for withdraw- 
al may be considered by the Managing 
Committee. 

c. Persons who have resigned or 
have been dismissed, wishing to be re- 
employed, must show their previous 
deposits intact before reémployment is 
considered. 

d. Deposits in excess of the min- 
imum compulsory deposits may be 
withdrawn at any time upon applica- 
tion to the Manager. 

e. The Managing Committee of 
the Mission will be the body to deal 
with all cases of withdrawal of mini- 
mum deposits or with matters not oth- 
erwise provided for. 


The question as to whether or not 
it will be possible for missionaries on 
the mission field to support themselves 
and continue mission work received 
its share of attention. On the part of 
-some of us at least the wish was fath- 
er to the thought and various possibil- 
ities came under our purview. Aside 
from the remote possibility of farm- 
ing (for which considerable capital is 
necessary) such a plan for us is prac- 
tically out of the question. What we 
would be compelled to do, should re- 
sources from the Home church be cut 
off, is quite unknown to us, but we 
are willing to leave it in the hands 
of an all-wise God whom we shall 
trust to provide for our needs as long 
as He desires our services in this land.

LA CARPA EVANGELICA 


. MA 
EL COCHE BIBLICO 


By -i.,.K.. Hershey 


La Carpa Evangélica is the Spanish 
rendering for Gospel Tent, and El Co- 
che Biblico is the term used for Bible 
Coach. (“y” equals English “and,” pro- 
nounced “ee.’) Doubtless, many at 
home do not know that the Lord has 
so graciously provided a Gospel Tent 
for our Mission. The purpose of this 
article is to give a description of the 
Tent and the Bible Coach and how 
they are used. 


_.The Bible Coach 


Our Bible Coach is equipped to live 
in and is at present the home of the 
writer of this article. It has all the con- 
veniences of a modern home on a small 
scale minus a bathroom, an attic, and 
a cellar. 

On entering the front and walking 
through to the rear, we pass through 
the kitchen. On the right is the sink 
set on a tank holding about twenty- 
five gallons of water with a small 
pump. To the left, is the cupboard 
with all necessary cooking utensils. 
Another step takes us to the stove 
which is a small burner placed in a 
galvanized box for cooking. 

To the right and to the left as we 
proceed, are two beds provided with 
exceptionally good mattresses at a 
height of two feet above the floor. Un- 
der these, the bed clothing is kept and 
also books, etc. At the rear end of 
the coach, to the right and to the left, 
are the wardrobes and in the center of 
the rear are small bookcases. Here, 
too, is our table provided with folding 
boards which can be removed when 
not in use. The Bible Coach is high 
enough to walk in comfortably. 

On the outside at the rear end of 
the coach, there is a door which can 
be opened and let down serving as a 
platform for street and open-air serv- 
ices. When the door is down, there 
may also be seen shelves of Bibles, New 


10 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


Testaments, Gospels, and portions of 
Scriptures that are kept for sale. On 
one side of the coach, a sign reads, 
“To-night—Gospel Services,’ on the 
other side, one reads, “Read the Bible 
(an open book sketched) and you will 
know the truth.” 
The Tent 


The tent is oval-shaped, 26 x 40 feet, 
and is equipped with twenty-four seats. 
The iron feet are of our own inven- 
tion that can be removed and folded 
together so as to occupy small space 
when the tent is moved from one place 
to another. Boards for the platform 
are usually borrowed in the town 
where we have the meetings. The pul- 
pit is made of kerosene boxes, In the 
towns where there is no electricity, 
lamps are provided, and in those where 
there is, the tent is lighted by three or 
four globes. On the front of the tent 
in big letters are the words, “Carpa 
Evangélica,” “Gospel Tent.” It is tak- 
en from town to town in a small trail- 
er, purchased for that purpose. 

Campaign in a Town 

Usually before arriving in a town 
with the tent and coach, a site has 
been selected and much propaganda 
has been made beforehand. Some 
weeks before, cardboards with the pic- 
ture of the tent and the Bible coach 
announcing the meetings, are placed in 
the show windows. If there is a churcn 
in the town, the members have long 
been talking of the campaign and pray- 
ing for its success. 

On arriving, the first thing to do is 
to go to the police station and tell the 
chief of police of our plans and what 
we expect to do. There is no danger 
that he will hinder or oppose our cam- 
paign, for we tell him that we have a 
permanent permit from La Plata, the 
police headquarters in the capital of 
the province. This permit is for hold- 
ing meetings and preaching in the 
street, the tent or elsewhere, but we 
come to him to ask his support and 
police protection if necessary, and at 
the same time donating him a Bible. 
We have found up to now, that they 


are always ready to defend us and not 
allow our meetings to be molested. 
Many would disturb us if they dared. 

The tent is then erected, the bench- 
es placed, the platform and pulpit ar- 


‘ranged. We now start out with the 


Bible coach to announce the meetings 
in the tent. With a good-sized mega- 
phone, we announce from the rear 
window of the coach, where the tent 
is located and the hour of the meet- 
ings, and every now and then a Scrip- 
ture text is cited. From the two side 
windows, tracts and handbills are 
thrown out to those who hear the horn 
of the car and the announcements of 
the megaphone. Sometimes the side- 
walks are full of curious folks running 
out to see what has happened and what 
it is all about. 
At the set time for the meeting, 
there is a song service, and if there are 
any members present, Scripture texts 
are given as well as testimonies, after 
which a sermon is preached, usually 
by a native. After the first two or three 
services, an invitation is given to the 
unconverted to accept Christ. At the 
close of the service, announcements 
are made of women’s meetings and 
children’s meetings the following after- 
noon, and also that in the Bible coach 
there are Bibles, New Testaments, Gos- 
pels, and other helpful books for sale. 
Then the main audience is dismissed 
and those who are interested and man- 
ifested a desire to know more about 
The Way, are asked to remain. They 
come forward and take the front seats 
when a second service is held for them. 
There are seven things we teach them: 
1. To recognize that they are sin- 
ners in the sight of God, and that they 
need a Savior. : 
2. That it is necessary to confess 
their sins to Him who has promised to 


pardon. 


3. To abandon their sins, i. e., quit 
sinning. 

4. Before retiring for the night, to 
get down on their knees and ask God 
to pardon them of their sins (prayer). 

5. Begin at once to study God’s 
Word. . | 


AND DIRECTORY bat y be 


6. Always be ready to testify of 
what God has done for them. 
7. Work to get others saved. 


Each one making a confession is then 
handed a New Testament, and dis- 
missed after first taking their names 
and addresses. These names are then 
handed over to the minister in charge, 
who will visit them and try to line 
them up for God and the Church. We 
usually stay about a week in a town. 
Longer would be better but it is de- 
sired to cover the district before cold 
weather sets in. Without a doubt, on 
the return tour, we shall remain a 
longer period of time in each town. 


Two Months 


For two months this evangelistic 
campaign has been in operation with 
splendid results. The tent not being 
completed, when beginning the cam- 
paign, the meetings were conducted 
indoors in two of the towns—Alberti 
and Mechita. We began using the 
tent in O’Brien, an outstation in the 
Bragado district. 

The towns visited to date are, Al- 
berti, Mechita, O’Brien, Bragado, Car- 
los Casares, Martinez de Hoz, Quiro- 
ga, Moctezuma, Smith, Guanaco and 
before this is read, it will have been 
(D. V.) in Pehuajé and perhaps in Ma- 
dero and Passo. 

The attendance has been from 190 
to 1,000. Thousands are hearing the 
plain Gospel preached that never had 
an opportunity before. In summing 
up the number of confessions so far, 
we note that more than 500 have ex- 
pressed their desire to follow the Lord 
and His teachings. We do not claim 
that all are converted yet (would that 
they were), but we believe .that many 
of them have had a real experience of 
regeneration and conversion. 

Many homes have been changed, 
prodigals have come home, victories 
over vice and open sins have been 3b- 
tained, peace has been reinstated be- 
tween parents and children and rela- 
tives. Many have gotten the victory 
over drink and the filthy weed habit. 
, It is encouraging to hear the testi- 


monies of recent confessions. May 
God bless, save, and keep them. 

We ask our brethren to continue in 
prayer for these meetings. Souls must 
hear of Christ who died for them. 
Special request is asked for those who 
work daily with the converts, and pray 
much for those who made confession. 
Pray, pray, and God will give the in- 
crease.

‘ACTIVITIES OF THE EASTERN 


MENNONITE BOARD OF MIS- 
SIONS AND (CHARITIES 
DURING THE PAST 
YEAR 


By John H. Mellinger 


I have been requested to write a 
brief account of the activities of the 
Board during the past year. I might 
say, first, that while the work has been 
going on in the usual way, yet we 
have reason to feel thankful that in 
many ways we have been particularly 
blessed. To a certain degree, the lot 
of many other mission boards has also 
been ours, namely the falling off of 
contributions as compared with years 
gone by. The reason for this state ot 
affairs is, of course, apparent to all. 
But we have not suffered to the ex- 
tent that the work has been crippled, 
or any of the workers recalled. This 
condition of affairs is felt more keen- 
ly for the reason that at our city mis- 
sion stations the calls for charitable 
work grow greater than in times of 
prosperity, and our workers are often 
in a quandary as to what is the best 
thing to do, owing to the scarcity of 
funds available for such purposes. 
For years we have endeavored to re- 
lieve want and suffering among the at- 
tendants of our missions as much as 
possible, but the conditions the last 
two years have been such that we 
were almost at a loss how to cope with 
them. : 

We are all aware that the welfare 
organizations in the various cities have 


12: MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


undéftaken the work: of feeding the 
hungry, yet: their work was so much 
intermingled with things that we could 


not subscribe to conscientiously, that 


our board about a year ago came to 
the conclusion that we could’ best 
serve our poor and the poor of the 
community in general by opéning a re- 
lief station of our'!own in Lancaster. 
This was opened in the city of Lan- 
caster on the corner of Locust and 
Pershing Sts., and carried on until 
May, 1933. About $15,000 worth of 
provisions, clothing, and fuel was dis- 
tributed at a very small cost, and to 
the general satisfaction of all concern- 
ed. This year there are many more 


part of the county, has again been 
taken up and new life has been man- 
ifested in the work. Attendance has 
increased, and with the enthusiasm 
manifested by those having the work : 
in charge, we trust that the work can 
be successfully continued. 

During the last year Bro. Elam W. 
Stauffer, one of the missionaries ap- 
pointed for the African field, held a 
series of meetings at Rawlinsville, one 
of our preaching and Sunday school 
stations, and as a result there were five 
confessions, all colored people. There 
being a number of colored members of 
our church scattered over the coun- 
ty, the question naturally arises, what 





Weaverland Church, Where Farewell Meeting Was Held for New 
Missionaries to Africa 


employed, according to N. R. A. offi- 
cials, and the state and federal gov- 
ernments have made arrangements 
that all needy ones can be taken care 
of, so we deemed it unnecessary to 
open a relief station, and will only try 
to take care of the poor connected 
with our missions. 

All our stations have been in opera- 
tion during the past year, and we are 
gratified to know of the good inter- 
est manifested in nearly all of them. 
At some of the stations quite a num- 
ber of confessions are recorded, as 
well as admissions to the Church. 

The work that had previously been 
dropped at Oak Shade, in the southern 


is to be done? Shall they be taken in- 
to the various congregations or would 
it be best to form a separate congre- 
gation just for colored members? Our 
bishop board seemed to incline to the 
latter view, and accordingly a color- 
ed Sunday school has been opened on 
Howard Avenue in Lancaster City, 
and preaching services are also being 
held for them. What the final out- 
come will be remains to be seen. The 
interest is good. 

The matter of establishing a mis- 
sion in far-off Africa has been agitat- 
ed for several years and the interest 
continued to grow, and finally after 
much prayer and discussion, the board 


AND DIRECTORY 13 


was encouraged to proceed in the 
work by the Church in general and 
by our bishop board in particular, and 
the work has been launched. Breth- 
ren Elam W. Stauffer and John H. 
Mosemann, Jr., and their wives have 
been appointed to inaugurate the 
work. Bro. Mosemann and wife are 
at present attending the American Bi- 
ble Institute in New York City, where 
in addition to other studies, they are 
taking a short course in medicine 
which is available for prospective mis- 
sionaries in that institution. They en- 
tered in September and will continue 
until about April. 
On Saturday, Dec. 2, an inspiration- 
al and farewell meeting was held at 
the Weaverland Church as Bro. Stauf- 
fer and Bro. Orie Miller intended sail- 
ing on the following Thursday, Dec. 
7, for Africa. Bro. Miller is accom- 
panying Bro. Stauffer to assist him in 
the selection of a field of labor. They 
will enter Egypt at Alexandria and 
then proceed southward by rail to 
Khartoum when further travel will be 
by boat on the Nile River. Some- 
where in the eastern part of the con- 
tinent is where they are expected to 
locate, but it shall be as the Lord leads. 
After a location has been found, it 
is the intention of Bro. Miller to pro- 
ceed to India to visit the missions 
there and then return home. Soon after 
a permanent location has been decid- 
ed upon, and after they have finished 
their studies, Bro. Mosemann and 
wife and Sister Stauffer will be sent to 
join Bro. Stauffer for the work there. 
We think we realize the responsi- 
bilities of the undertaking, but we re- 


ly on the prayers of God’s people and. 


the guidance of the Holy Spirit to be 
with us in the work. 

Any one who attended the meeting 
at Weaverland could not help but be 
impressed by the presence of the Spir- 
it, and the wonderful interest mani- 
fested in the work. We do believe 
that prayers and good wishes avail 


much, and the departing brethren 
were certainly remembered in this 
way. 


On Thursday, Dec. 7, at 12:30 A, 
M. the steamship “Bremen” slipped 
from her pier at the North German 
Lloyd docks, Brooklyn, New York, and 
floated toward the ocean, bearing 
about 700 passengers, among whom 
were our brethren, destined for Africa. 
About fifty of the brethren and sisters 
from our Lancaster County churches 
were present to see them depart. Pre- 
vious to their departure, an impressive 
farewell meeting was held on board 
the boat, after which all visitors were 
requested to leave, and after a delay 
of an hour, the ship floated down the 
bay, and the first foreign missionaries 
sent by our Board, were on their way. 
May God’s richest blessings attend 
them. 

A change has also been made in the 
financial policy of the Board during 
the past year. This change has to do 
with the matter of annuities. Hereto- 
fore it has been the custom to have 
annuities written in such a way that 
after the death of the annuitant, the 
investment of the funds was to con- 
tinue, and the income to be used for 
any purpose that the annuitant would 
designate. Continuing this practice 
through the years, it is evident that 
a large sum of money would be held 
by investment, and the risk of loss 
would become greater as the years 
rolled on. No corporation can con- 
tinue to invest a large amount cf 
funds for all time without incurring 
a great risk of loss and consequent 
detriment to the work. 

The plan that has been decided up- 
on is to invest the funds given on the 
annuity plan, and have the agreement 
written that on the death of the an- 
nuitant the funds can be withdrawn 
from investment and placed in the 
general fund for use in the work. 
This will greatly diminish the risk of 
loss and also prove a help in the work 
by having these funds released. As 
time goes on, we pass away one by one 
and anything we have done in this way 
goes directly to the use of the Board. 
The plan seems to meet with the ap- 
proval of our people, as all who have 


14 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


been approached in regard to having 
the conditions of their annuity con- 
tracts changed to the plan adopted, 
have heartily agreed to it. 

For some years there has been a 
small congregation of our people lo- 
cated in the city of York, the services 
being in charge of the ministry of the 
Stony Brook congregation, a few miles 
east of the city. Some of the mem- 
bers have been advocating .more ac- 
tive work among the people of the 
city, and they appealed to the Mis- 
sion Board to establish a mission there. 
The matter was taken into considera- 
tion and some investigations made, 
and it was decided that for the present, 
stronger efforts should be made in the 
way of building up the Sunday school 
and having regular preaching serv- 
ices. Bro. Frank Leaman of Inter- 
course, Lancaster Co., was appointed 
to superintend the work, and the in- 
terest is growing. Some time in the 
future we hope a regular mission sta- 
tion will be established. 


Lancaster, Pa. 





IMPRESSIONS OF GENERAL 
CONFERENCE 





By J. P. Brubaker 


On the evening of August 20 as I 
approached Hesston College campus, 
my first thought was, What a change? 
Where the old unused foundation used 
to 'be, stood the large assembly tent, 
with light wires and amplifier cord 
connecting the tent with the power line 
and with loud speakers located at ad- 
vantageous points over the campus. 
Adjacent to the power house and 
laundry was another large tent where 
food was prepared and served. Here 
one was impressed with the fact that 
one could get along nicely without 
some of the “fixins” of former years. 
What a task! we thought, as we look- 
ed at the scene, impossible for one 
man alone, but possible through the 
organization of the many. How true 
is this fact in all the work our Master 
would have us do. When God said, “It 


is not good for man to be alone,’ He 
expressed a need that is satisfied, not 
only in acquiring a woman for him, 
but in giving him various other asso- 
ciations as well. May it ever be our 
watchword as a Church; we will never 
fall if we stand together on the unfail- 
ing Word of God. 


Perhaps the most lasting impres- 
sions were made by “just folks.” Old 
friends, new friends, leaders, and 
speakers all left an imprint on our 
mental film. We were cheered by the 
loyalty and stability of many faithful 
ones, both young and old, which was 
manifested by conduct and accomplish- 
ment. We did not feel with Elijah 
that, “I only am left.” Then there 
were those who, by conduct and ap- 
pearance, made us feel sad; sad be- 
cause some one was not enjoying a 
surrendered and victorious life; sad 
because some one’s usefulness in home, 
church, and community was marred. 
As there always is in a crowd, there 
were folks with different tempera- 
ments. Some were rushing here and 
there, always in a hurry, and passing 
one by, though they did not accom- 
plish any more than those fellow pil- 
grims who were never too busy to 
pause a moment to meet a friend or 
help someone in an emergency. Among 
the young folks, there were some flip- 
pant, giggly ones whose greatest ambi- 
ticn seemed to be to attract attention to 
themselves. There were also constant 
thoughtful young men and women who 
gave evidence of a sane and sober 
outlook on life. Among the children 
there was evidence of careful teach- 
ing and training, while perhaps some 
acted more as if they had just “grow- 
ed up”. 

I was also impressed with the work 
of the local committees. I was made | 
to think of the old proverb, “A place 
for everything and everything in its 
place.’ Somewhere on the grounds 
there seemed to be a job for each one, 
and each one seemed to be at his job. 
What a strange sight such a confer- 
ence would have been thirty years 
ago! Loud speakers so that messages 


AND DIRECTORY 15 


could be heard anywhere on _ the 
grounds, every kind of convenience 
for the comfort and welfare of visi- 
tors, cars from the most distant cor- 
ners of our land parked along side of 
tents, tables, and gasoline or oil stoves, 
where families or friends cooked their 
meals. in modern camp style. One 
who had attended many of our gener+ 
al assemblies would no doubt have no- 
ticed improvement and progress on ev- 
ery hand. Now the questions come: 
Has the efficiency of Conference to 
meet the need of the Church in gen- 
eral kept pace with material develop- 
ments? Have the spiritual problems 
been as ably solved as have the prob- 
lems of housing and feeding an ever- 
increasing attendance? Has _ spiritual 
power increased with the increase of 
organizations and endeavors? 


Next the program itself. forms a 
subject for much comment. It first 
gives evidence of a wide range of ac- 
tivity on the part:of the Church as a 
whole. From the lowly mother, who 
sews a simple garment to give to a 
needy neighbor, to the mission doc- 
tor, who hands out Gospel truth while 
he dispenses pills, there is a place for 
each individual Christian. No one can 
say that the ‘Church has no program 
to fit his particular. talents or qualifi- 
cations. Leaders and followers, over- 
seers and laborers, teachers and learn- 
ers, there is a place for all in ‘God’s 
program. | ie 

Second, the various parts of the 
program gave evidence of a balanced 
program. One particular phase of 
work was not pushed to the undue ex- 
pense of another. Current issues were 
rightly given special consideration, 
while subjects recalling the work of 
the past and strengthening men for 
the future, were also ably discussed. 
Thus we see not only a balanced ac- 
tivity ‘but also a correlated activity. 
How can these various activities, 
working together, be made most ef- 
fectively to serve the purpose of bring- 
ing the Gospel to a lost world and of 
building “up the saints in ‘holy ‘love 
and faith? aa 





Coming to the speakers, they per- 
haps gave me the most varied impres- 
sions. As a whole they impressed one 
with the fact that they had given much 
thought and study to their part of the 
program. Their messages were born 
of. conviction and prayer. Each de4- 
nitely emphasized the work of his par- 


ticular field without minimizing the 
work of another. As individuals each 
speaker showed particular strong 


points and sometimes weak points as 
well. Here a brother leads out because 
of a gift of speaking, there another is 
valuable because of leadership, or wise 
counsel, or keen insight into the Scrip- 
tures. Some men stand out prominent- 
ly because of the constant atmosphere 
of devotion they carry with them. Some 
men impressed one because of their 
ability to see both sides of a question 
and choose the wisest course for all 
concerned. Some speakers may have 
seemed too stern or definite, while oth- 
ers were too general and apologetic. 
How true that the Spirit has set men, 
‘as he will.” 


The last impressions we want to 
mention have to do with the surround- 
ing nonchurch community. They too 
anticipated large crowds and business. 
They are to be commended for their 
interest and valuable help. What were 
their impressions? Did the conference 
leave with them only memories of 
people, automobiles, work, and excite- 
ment, or did they get the real signifi- 
cance of the event? Did they get the 
impression that here is a people given 
over to a spiritual task, to a task that 
has to do with souls and eternity, to a 
task that is divinely appointed and for 
which they are held responsible for 
its accomplishment? May our General 
Conferences continue to grow in pow- 
er and efficiency. May they ever be 
the means of keeping the body of our 
Mennonite people grounded firmly on 
the solid rock, ‘Christ Jesus, keeping 
true to the faith for which our fore- 
bears gave their lives.

GOD SO LOVED 





“For God so loved the world, that 
he gave his only. begotten son, that 
whosoever believeth in him, should 


not perish, but have everlasting life” 
(John 3:16). 


God so loved us, every one, 

He gave His only begotten Son; 
If on Him we will believe, 

Life eternal we’ll receive. 


To the blind did God give sight, 
Of the world, He is the Light; 
If His Words we will obey, 
He will lead us all the way. 


Jesus loves us, this we know, 

He came to earth His love to 
show; 

For our life—His own He gave, 

From death eternal—He does save.

OPPORTUNITIES BEFORE THE 
CHURCH OF TO-DAY 


By O. N. Johns 


Every age has its opportunities. 
Sometimes we feel as though others, 
or those who lived in by-gone days, 
had more opportunities than we have 
for accomplishing great things. But, 
as a matter of fact, we all have ampue 
opportunities of doing good, if we will 
only avail ourselves of them. 

The Church has great opportunities 
before her to-day, the same as she has 
had in the past. Our prayer is, that 
the Church of to-day might be awak- 
ened’ out of her sleep into a living ex- 
perience with Christ our Savior. 

Let us walk circumspectly, redeem- 
ing the time because the days are evil. 
Let us make a little survey of the op- 
portunities which are before us as a 
church to-day. We choose to note 
them under three groups. 

1. The Opportunity of Repression. 

2. The Opportunity of Expression. 

3. The Opportunity of Preparation 

for a Bright Future. 


The Opportunity of Repression 


The Christian warfare is both ag- 
gressive and defensive. There are 
certain things that are constantly mak- 


ing inroads into the Christian faith. 
Worldliness in its various forms is be- 
ing forced upon the Church by Satan, 


the god of this world. The. Church 


needs to set herself in array against 
this. 

To-day is an opportune time for the 
Church to repress this tidal wave of 
sin. If we drop our hands and give up 
in despair now, the result will be dis- 
astrous. We still have young breth- 
ren and sisters as well as older ones 
who will contend for the faith once 
delivered unto the saints, if they will 
receive some encouragement. 

The doctrine of salvation through 
faith in Jesus Christ and Him cruci- 
fied, whom God raised up, is being 
jeopardized; the Genesis account of 
the creation is being questioned; 
God’s teaching on eternal punishment 
is being ignored; many men’s stand- 
ards in life, social, religious, and busi- 
ness, are being lowered. Our credit is 
no longer as universal as it once was, 
because of the dishonesty that has 
crept into the Church. 

These things have not gotten such 
a hold on our Church yet but that 
they can be repressed if we as Chris- 
tians unitedly cry aloud and spare not. 
What an opportune time to labor to- 
gether with God to keep the Church 
pure! 


The Opportunity of Expression 


“Hereby perceive we the love of 
God, because he laid down his life for 
us: and we ought to lay down our 
lives for the brethren. But whoso 
hath this world’s good, and seeth his 
brother have need, and shutteth up 
his bowels of compassion from him, 
how dwelleth the love of God in him” 
(I John 3:16,17)? Because of the 
present economic conditions, we have 
a special privilege of expressing the 
love of God, shed abroad in our 
hearts by the Holy Ghost, by giving 
help to the poor. God’s command is 
“Remember the poor” (Gal. 2:10). 

Expression of the will of God. God 
has commissioned His Church to 
preach the Gospel to every creature. 


AND DIRECTORY ; 17 


A time of darkness and distress is a 
very opportune time to proclaim a De- 
liverer, a Savior. When Israel was in 
bondage or distress, then they cried 
unto the Lord and He heard them. 
Psa. 107. Just so to-day, dark con- 
tinents are open for the Gospel. 
Expression of the power of God. 
We can give expression to life by let- 
ting our lights shine. In a world where 
sin and crime are so prevalent, the 
Christian life will stand out all the 
more noticeable. The darker the night, 
the brighter the light seems. “Men 
loved darkness, rather than light, be- 
cause their deeds were evil.” Let us 
therefore dispel the darkness of this 
world by reflecting the Christ life so 
that the wicked and sinful may not 


be able to find a hiding place behind © 


some weak church member. 

It takes the grace and power of God 
through the Spirit to be able to live 
the Christlike life in these days. But 
God has said, “My grace is sufficient 
for thee.” Let us pray for one anoth- 
er, that we may be able to live the 
nonresistant, mnonconformed to the 
world, simple, consecrated, and holy 
life, for to-day there are those who 
ere ready to receive teachings like 
these, who, in the past, would have 
given no listening ear. 


Opportunity of Preparation 


We are looking for the return of 
our Lord at any time. We feel that 
the Scriptures have been sufficiently 
fulfilled for His coming. Nevertheless 
we want to provide enough oil (Holy 
Ghost) so that, if He should tarry for 
some time yet, we would still be pre- 
pared to meet Him. 

When we look at our Church; our 
splendid group of young people that 
are coming on; our forefathers, and 
the heritage they gave us; the scrip- 
tural teachings we have received; and 
the many opportunities that are af- 
forded us through the Church for the 
development of the individual for serv- 
ice—such as our many mission activ: 
ities, our educational institutions, 
church publications, young people’s 


institutes, winter Bible schools, sum- 
mer Bible schools, midweek prayer 
meetings, Bible study classes, confer- 
ences—such as Church conferences, 
Sunday school conferences, Bible con- 
ferences, Christian Life conferences, 
etc.,—besides our Sunday schools and 
young people’s Bible meetings, we are 
made to rejoice and to “praise God fer 
His goodness and for His wonderful 
works to the children of men,” and 
we also are made to appreciate our 
Church’ all the ‘more. I think our 
young people especially should appre- 
ciate the Church and praise God for 
such opportunities. 

May the Church also realize that if 
we would have a Church that can be 
presented unto Christ, a glorious 
Church, without spot or wrinkle, when 
He shall return, we must continue to 
feed, indoctrinate, develop, and bring 
up our young people in the nurture 
and admonition of the Lord. 

Our country is spending large sums 
of money for the welfare and safety 
of the children. As a Church we too 
can well afford to use of that with 
which the Lord has blessed us, not 
for the gratifying of the flesh of our 
young folks (or even ourselves) but 
for their spiritual development, that 
they may be living witnesses for the 
Lord, now and in the days to come, 
and staunch supporters of the doc- 
trines of God and also oftthe Church. 

It is true that some, or all, of the 
above named organizations and insti- 
tutions may be a hindrance to the 
cause of Christ and the Church, if con- 
ducted and directed in the wrong way, 
and therefore with the organization or 
institution comes a problem. May we 
seriously and prayerfully, yet cheer- 
fully, meet these problems and spon- 
sor a constructive program in the sight 
of God, heading these organizations 
and institutions with faithful and com- 
petent brethren who have hazarded 
their lives for the cause of Christ and 
the Church. Present-day conditions 
make their demands upon the saints, 
especially upon the young Christians, 
enticing and alluring them to sinful .

practices. Lhis“isia challenge, tanene 
Church. We need to walk circum- 
spectly. 

We need to use every means pos- 
sible and direct them toward the es- 
tablishing of the believers, both young 
and old. 


Let us use the Junior departments 
of the Sunday school and young peo- 
ple’s Bible meeting, the summer Bible 
school, etc., for the teaching of the 
Word to the children; the short term 
Bible schools, yotung people’s insti-

development of our youth. 


Besides this, let us conduct our Sun- 
day schools, preaching services, confer- 
ences, missionary endeavors, publica- 
tion work, young people’s Bible meet- 
ings in such a way that God may be 
glorified, the sinners saved, and “for 
the perfecting of the saints, for the 
work of the ministry, for the edifying 
of the body of Christ; till we all come 
in the unity of the faith, and of the 
knowledge of the Son of God, unto 
a perfect man, unto the measure of the 
stature of the fulness of Christ: that 
we henceforth be no more children,

with every wind of doctrine, by the 
sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, 
whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

grow up into him in all things, which

God says, “Whatsoever a man soweth,

always comes—some thirty, some sixty,

OUR EDUCATIONAL WORK 


By D. A. Yoder 


The Educational work of the Men- 
nonite Church is one of vital import- 
ance to many of our people. This is 
shown more and more as we note the 
increased interest which is taken in 
this part of the Church’s program. 
This interest is shown in a number 
of ways: The maintenance of an Ed- 
ucational Board in the Church; the 
establishment of three Church schools; 
the operation of an increased number 
of short term Bible schools; the in- 
creased attendance at Church schools 
in general and the deep concern which 
is manifest in nearly all sections of the 
Church for the educational welfare of 
our young people. 

Is there a need for the educational 
in our church program? This ques- 
tion has been asked again and again ~ 
and has been answered in various 
ways. Our young people are no differ- 
ent from others when it comes to their 
desire for more advanced work in ed- 
ucation. They aim to become profi- 
cient in whatever work they wish to 
pursue, hence many of them go to 
school somewhere to prepare for their 
life work. When we know that a 
large number of institutions of learn- 
ing make no pretense of caring for the 
spiritual welfare of the student, and 
that many others which once stood 
for righteousness and truth have left | 
the simple teachings of the Gospel, it 
at once makes us feel that there is a 
real need which should be met by the 
Church. We believe that our people 
who will go to school are deserving of 
the best. I do not mean the best only 
in educational lines, but the best in 
teaching and environments which will 
hold forth the faith and practices of 
the Mennonite Church. 


One statement which has often been 
made is that many who attend our 
schools afterward leave the Church, 
and that their usefulness is lost to us. 
There is too much truth in the state- 
ment, but if we were to make compar- 


AND DIRECTORY 19 


isons with other losses to the Church 
it might not be as bad as it looks to 
be at first. I would venture the state- 
ment that the losses among those who 
go to other schools or to no schools 
at all are proportionately larger than 
among those who go to our own 
schools. One task of the Board is to 
put an appeal into the educational 
work of the Church that will tend to 
save for God and the Church. 

We have a distinct message to the 
world which we know will not be giv- 
en in the secular schools neither in 
other denominational schools, hence it 
is urgent that we give it in schools 
of our own, under our own board, or- 
ganized and controlled by the Church. 

Our opportunities as a Board are 
varied. Among these are: To give 
a secular education to our young peo- 
ple amidst surroundings conducive to 
spiritual growth; to secure teachers 
who are not only spiritual but also liv- 
ing exponents of the doctrines of 
Christ and the Church. Too often we 
think that our schools are for our own 
only and forget that in them we have 
untold opportunities to show to others 
our principles of faith and practice. 
Our message is not only for those 
whom we call our own but for all to 
whom we may be able to give it. We 
can see to it that our schools make 
added provision for the study of the 
Word of God and preparation . for 
service in the Church. 

Too often as a Board we think our 
work is ended when we have had an 
annual meeting, have heard reports, 
discussed a few general questions, 
elected officers, and adjourned. In- 
stead of this being the end of our 
year’s work it is only the beginning. 
True, much of the work is delegated 
to certain individuals or committees, 
whose task is to wrestle with particular 
problems, but much remains for the 
other Board members to do, such as 
bringing to the Church the needs of 
the Board and its particular prob- 
lems from time to time; keeping in 
touch with those who are inclined to 
go to school; and doing our part to 


get them to attend our own schools. 
Our: task is to work with Church, 
board, and _ schools’ constructively, 
rather than in a destructive way. We 
may not always be able to accomplish 
what we would like, but we can at 
least keep on working. It is not a time 
to give up, but rather’a time when the 
challenge is greater and demands more 
effort on the part of every member. 
What are our aims? It is not only 
our aim to have schools, but ‘to have 
schools where our people can be be:- 
ter prepared to work in our own 
Church. We are not looking forward 
to the establishment of more schools, 
but rather to caring for those we al- 
ready have more adequately in provid- 
ing ways and means to do more effi- 
cient work. Our slogan should be, 
Not more schools but better. We have 
not reached the ideal, but we are 
striving toward it, aiming to put into 
practice the purposes for which the 
Board was called into existence. 
Any work of the Church has its 
problems, ‘and without the problems 
the work would not be worth while. 
The establishing of an educational 
program in the Church was brought 
about because of the problems along 
the line of education, and if we should 
cease our efforts to meet them we 
would still have the same problems, 
only in a larger way, and we would 
be less able to cope with them. One 
of the questions facing us continually 
is how to get more of our Mennon- 
ite students to attend our: Church 
schools. Too many are attending oth- 
er schools, both secular and denomi- 
national. Some of the reasons given 
are as follows: We cannot get the 
work we want; we .can get the work 
nearer home; we do not have enough 
confidence in the stability of the edu- 
cational work of the Church, etc. How 
overcome these and other reasons giv- 
en is one of the continual problems of 
the Board. May we as a Church get 
back of this work and support it in 
all ways and so create a greater con- 
, fidence, and especially as Board mem- 


bers do all in our power to help make 
9 


20 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


the work worthy of support. We must 
show to the Church that our schools 
put a religious emphasis into their 
life, while many schools either wholly 
neglect this or have a questionable em- 
phasis. | 

The question of accreditment comes 
up continually, and it must be met. 
The students demand it so that their 
work may be properly evaluated when 
they get out into life to earn their 
livelihood. The Church demands it 
because as a people we do not want to 
spend our money where the returns 
are questionable when we go out into 
our life’s work. We have tried to 
meet this question by securing quali- 
fied teachers and putting on a type of 
work which compares favorably with 
the work of state and other schools. 

Under these times of depression the 
problem of finances is one of much 
concern. If it were not for the noble 
sacrifices which the faculties have been 
making it would be next to impossible 
to go on. But with a standing togeth- 
er and making changes here anid 
there we have been able to go on, 
and with the support of the Church 
and the help of God, I believe we shall 
be able to continue with better schools 
than ever before. 

When we mention support of the 
Board the question of finances natur- 
ally arises in our minds, but there are 
other ways of support which neces- 
sarily should come first. The Board 
is the product of the Church and feels 
that the united prayers of all are 
needed so that its work may be car- 
ried on successfully. We need the 
moral support of ministers, board 
‘members, and; laity. Every minister 
should do his part in the congregation 
where he is located by prayer, by 
presenting needs of the Board, and by 
taking a constructive rather than a de- 
structive attitude. Every Board mem- 
ber should realize that it is his duty 
to try to further the Board’s interest 
in the district which he represents. He 
should not only be interested in get- 
ting finances but also in keeping be- 


fore the people the various needs of» 


the Board. Every member, being a 
part of the larger body, should not 
only look on, thinking that the task 
belongs to a few who have been giv- 
en special place, but should do his 
part in prayer, encouragement, and 
financial support. 

The educational work in the Church 
is not the result of a passing fancy, 
but it is the result of seeing a real need 
and an attempt to meet this need in 
a way that will be of most good to 
the most people in the Church. May 
God, who overrules all, guide in this 
part of the Church’s program.

“LOOKING UNTO JESUS” 


By Jacob H. Mellinger 


In this present time of financial de- 
pression, when our rulers are seem- 
ingly using every available means to 
bring back a condition of prosperity to 
our country, we are made to wonder 
sometimes if they have not neglected 
to consult Him before whom the na- 
tions “are as a drop of a bucket,” and 
by whose hand the kingdoms of this 
world are disposed of as He wills. If 
they were to take God into their plans 
to a greater degree and depend 
less on human ‘ingenuity and _ the 
“brain trust,” there is reason to believe 
that they would be even more success- 
ful in their efforts. For God has de- 
clared in His Word, “Them that hon- 
our me I will honour, and they that 
despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” 
The Church may well take warning 
against making a similar mistake. In 
Heb. 12:2 we are admonished as in- 
dividuals and as a body to be contin- 
ually “looking unto Jesus.” 


The Church has much work to do. 
When Jesus gave His disciples His 
last message before leaving them, He 
told them to go and teach all nations. 
They were to baptize believers in the 
name of Father, the Son, and the Holy 
Ghost. They were to “teach them to 
observe all things whatsoever I have 


AND DIRECTORY: | 21 


commanded you.” Then He gave the 
promise—‘Lo, I am with you alway.” 
The Church has never been released 
from this obligation, and when in the 
right condition, it can always claim 
this promise. And when we consid- 
er the hundreds of millions in foreign 
and in home lands who know nothing 
about Christ, it is very evident that 
the missionary work everywhere needs 
to be pressed; the ground that is gain- 
ed must be held; Christ’s sheep must 
be taught and cared for. With all this 
work of the Church, in order that it 
may be properly done, she must he 
constantly “looking unto Jesus.” 

With the work of the Church many 
problems arise as to how it shall be 
done. Every local congregation has 
its problems, as has every conference, 
district or general. Every mission 
station has its problems—every city 
mission, rural mission, foreign mission 
—each has its own peculiar problems, 
and the boards that direct them have 
their own problems that need to be 
solved. Then there are the education- 
al problems, and the young people’s 
problems, and the dress problem, and 
still more problems. All these need all 
the wisdom that can possibly be ob- 
tained. But in the solving of these 
problems, unless there is a constant 
looking to Jesus, the solution will nev- 
er be satisfactory. 

Then there is the opposition which 
the Church must encounter—opposi- 
tion within and without. There is at 
the present time a determined opposi- 
tion against the Church from without. 
There is the opposition from other re- 
ligions, who because they do not know 
the blessings of Christianity, seek to 
oppose it. Then we have the opposi- 
tion of unbelievers— infidels, free- 
thinkers, atheists, and others like them. 
And then we have the spectacle of 
one of the greatest nations of earth, 
one that was once a professedly Chris- 
tian nation, on account of gross world- 
liness in the Church, turning against 
it and seeking to drive it completely 
from its borders. This nation is appar- 
ently trying to sow this same seed of 


opposition in other nations wherever 
it can. boxe 

Worse and more subtle in its work- 
ings than any of these, is opposition 
from within—a falling away, a depart- 
ure on the part of many from the 
faith, and a seeking to set up a so-call- 
ed Christian religion, in which human 
intelligence or reason is placed above 
the Word. We know what a strong 
footing this has obtained in the pro- 
fessed church, and the mischievous 
work it has done and is still doing 
there. Then there are those who have 
allowed themselves to drift into luke- 
warmness, or coldness, or worldliness, 
and as such are constantly helping to 
weaken the Church. We can not by 
reasoning, or by argument, or by any 
power in ourselves, overcome this op- 
position. While the Church must do 
her work, uphold the banner of the 
cross, contend earnestly for the faith, 
and let her light shine before men, it 
is only by looking to the Master, and 
in the strength that we receive from 
Him, that she can successfully cope 
with this opposition. 

We can easily understand why this 
is. so. Jesus Christ founded the 
Church. He purchased it with His 
own blood. He is its head: He directs 
its activities with and through the 
Holy Spirit and the Word. He cares 
for it and upholds it with His power. 
Some ‘time He is coming for it again, 
to receive it as His bride unto Him- 
self. Why should we not be constant- 
ly looking unto Him? As Peter said, 
“Lord to whom shall we go? Thou 
Last the words of eternal life.” 

We look to Jesus for guidance— 
“When he the Spirit of truth is come, 
he will guide you into all truth.’ We 
look to Him for keeping—‘“The Lord 
is thy keeper.” “The Lord shall pre- 
serve thee from all evil.” We look fo 
Jesus for power—‘‘But ye shall receive 
power after that the Holy .Ghost is 
come upon you.’ We look to Jesus 
for wisdom—“If any of you lack wis- 
dom, let him ask of God, that giveth 
to all men liberally,; and upbraideth 
not; and it shall be given him.” We 


22 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


look to.-Him for daily. supplies, both 
temporal and spiritual—‘‘But my God 
shall supply all your need according 
to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” 
We look to Him for everything, be- 


cause “in him dwelleth all the fulness © 


of the Godhead bodily.” 

There is a tendency on the part of 
the Church to look elsewhere than to 
Jesus; to place too much confidence 
in human leaders; to be “of Paul,” or 
tof A polbos,” oF tof" Céphas’- (2 Paul 
told the Corinthians that he “deter- 
mined not to know anything among 
‘you, save Jesus Christ and him cruci- 
fied.” Perhaps we are stressing the 
cause of education too hard.. We for- 
get what the Word says about it, and 
the innumerable examples of what has 
happened to those who have trusted in 
it. Then we place too much confi- 
dence in what we can do; the im- 
pression we can make through our own 
efforts. We like to please and be pleas- 
ed. We like to entertain and be en- 
tertained, and make believe it is the 
Spirit of God working. We like enter- 
tainment in the pulpit and out of it. 
And possibly we would rather go to 
church to hear a program rendered, 
or to hear an entertaining talk, than 
to meet to bring an offering of praise 
and worship. And besides these things 
help to swell the crowd, and perhaps 
the receipts also. When we look to 
these things instead of to Jesus in our 
Christian work, it is time that like Mr. 
Munhall of the M. E. Church, we be- 
gin to fear “breakers ahead.” . 

It is also possible that the Church 
may be counting the favor of the pow- 
ers that be. The Church of God dare 
not but be loyal to the government un- 
der which it is. living, and support it 
even if it means oppression, as long 
as she is not asked to violate con- 
science. But when we think we must 
help regulate the government, in or- 
cer that we may be sure of getting a 
fair deal, we are getting our eyes off 
the Master, and are in danger of los- 
ing the very thing we are. trying to 
gain. Sacrificing. principle for any 
cause whatever, always means _ loss. 


When the early Church united with 
the state it gained in numbers, but suf-_ 
fered woefully in spirituality. 

In our individual experience we need 
to learn the same lessons. We look 
too much to ourselves and to the 
things of this life. We all meet with 
hard problems, and dark places, and 
unpleasant experiences, and with temp- 
tation, and sorrow and pain and suffer- 
ing, and things that we can not un- 
derstand, and we try to live these 
things down in our own strength. Like 
Peter, we get our eyes off the Master, 
and see the storms of life around us, 
and we begin to sink. We forget that 
in our weakness, Jesus’. strength is 
made. perfect; that He was: in. all 
things tempted like unto us, yet with- 
out sin; that He will not suffer us to 
ibe tempted above what we are able to 
bear; that He is the light of life; that 
He invites us all to come to Him, and 
we shall find rest to our souls; that 
He is the Good Shepherd, and knows 
His sheep; that 'He is continually 
leading them; and that they shall nev- 
er want. He has promised to be with 
us always, even unto the end of the 
world. Surely under these conditions, 
as a ‘Church and as individuals, we 
should be constantly “looking unto 
Jesus,” and in so doing we shall find 
life, and rest, and joy, and peace, and 
victory.

ACTIVITIES OF THE MENNON- 
ITE CENTRAL COMMITTEE 





By Levi Mumaw 


During the year 1933 no large out- 
standing movement of refugees was 
undertaken although there were defi- 
nite calls for such service. Early in 
the year the major activities in Men- 
nonite relief were directed to sending 
relief to the needy in Russia. This 
work was carried on mainly by the 
‘different relief organizations in this 
country direct with established agen- 
cies in New York. and Germany, and 
not through the office of the Mennon- 
ite Central Committee. 

The touch with the newly establish- 
ed colony in Paraguay has been con- 


of the colony. Early in the year a 
serious epidemic of malaria fever 
broke out, which lasted over a period 
of about six months and at times was 
very serious in its effect on the colony. 
Through the aid of the military physi- 
cians stationed in the colony hospi- 
tal, which was used for wounded sol- 
diers, and the sending of large ship- 
ments of medicine from Germany, the 
plague was stayed, and normal health 
has again been restored, although the 
effects of the disease will be felt for 
some time. 


Through a verbal report given to the 
Committee by Dr. Jacob Quiring, who 
had spent nine months in the colony 
and recently returned, to Germany by 
way of this country, it has been learn- 





The New Hospital at Philadelphia, Argentina, Fernheim Mennonite Colony 


tinued, and certain relief was given 
early in the year. Because of lack of 
funds at our disposal and to enable the 
colony to assume more direct responsi- 
bility the entire budget as previously 
assumed was not carried out in de- 
tail. It has not been possible to re- 
duce the loans made by the Commit- 
tee for the purpose of supporting the 
Harbin refugee movement of the pre- 
vious year. 

The war between Paraguay and 
Bolivia has had its effect on the affairs 


ed that the colony has made real prog- 
ress despite the many hindrances on 
account of the war and otherwise. He 
reported that there is an abundance 
of food, such as can be raised in the 
colony, on hand. The more serious 
problem is to secure such other grocer- 
ies as are needed to supplement what is 
being raised. There is a need of some 
adjustment by the colonists to the 
foods available in this way. The land 
is very productive, and with the wide 
range of planting seasons the matter 


24 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


of raising garden crops, as well as field 
crops, is made easier than in many 
other countries. . : 
The one special inconvenience to 
the progress of the colony is the ex- 
cessive heat during the summer sea- 
son. With the present depression in 
world markets, the colonists find them- 
selves in a situation similar to many 
other countries, and, because of the 
distance from the larger markets, find 
it almost impossible to market their 
surplus foods at this time. This means 
a real shortage in cash to such neces- 
sities of life as clothing, salt, seed, etc. 
‘There is a movement on foot to plant 
a larger acreage to cotton for the com- 
ing season. A liberal amount of cot- 
tonseed has been supplied to the col- 
ony for planting, and new hopes are 
fostered along this line. The sale of 


‘cotton this year was encouraging, al-_ 
though the crop was much less than :t ~ 


should have been because of not hay- 


ing the acreage planted. It is said that 


no other country will produce the 
amount of cotton that is possible to 
raise per acre in the Chaco, where the 
colony is located. It is hoped that this 
will become the main cash crop for 
the colony. 

While those in the Chaco were busy 
getting settled in their new home, a 
group of about thirty families have 
still been detained at Harbin, China. 
Although the task of moving them to 
Paraguay, to be united with those who 
had gone before, was delayed because 
of lack of funds, they were not forgot- 
ten. Through the efforts of Bro. Un- 
ruh in Germany a portion of the funds 
needed for this purpose was pledged 
by several relief. organizations having 
offices at Geneva. The Holland Men- 
nonites also. made a definite pledge of 
what they would be willing to supply 
for the movement. On receipt of this 
information by the Central Commit- 
tee the task was again taken under 
advisement, and. the matter was 
brought to the attention of the different 
Mennonite relief organizations in this 
country. It was agreed that no move- 
ment of these people could be under- 





taken until the former obligations as- 
sumed in this work would have been 
covered in some way and enough 
funds were available or pledged for 
the new movement. The matter was 
brought to the General Conference. 
District Conferences took up the work. 
At the present time the outlook for the 
final movement of these people looks 
encouraging, although an amount of 
$8,000.00 more is needed. The work 
will be continued, and it is hoped that 
the definite plans for sailing may be. 
made not later than March 1, 1934. 
This is the immediate task facing us.

PLACE, WORK, REWARD OF 
FAITH 


The true servant is not depressed 
and complaining, or comparing pres- 
ent things with the past; dissatisfied 
and discontented, retiring into corners 
to unburden his murmurings; but, on 
the contrary, he is so truly from the 
place of faith doing the works of faith, 
according as the interests of Christ are 
presented to him, that he knows in 
his own soul the reward of faith. He 
has his wages—fullness of joy—Christ 
unfolding Himself to him in blessed 
nearness, and he knowing the fellow- 
ship of the Holy Ghost; and what the 
Kingdom of God is—even righteous- 
ness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 
—The Christian’s. Helper.

THE MENNONITE MARTYRS 


By John Horsch 


The most important source for the 
study of the martyrs is the great work 
compiled by Thieleman Janz van 
Braght, of Dortrecht, Holland, in 1660. 
Its title, Martyrs’ Mirror, is véry aptly 
chosen, for the book reflects clearly 
the inner life, the spirit, the disposition 
and the motives of the martyrs. There 
are, in the first place, the accounts of 
their martyrdom and the preceding im- 
prisonments, often in noisome dunge- 
ons, and the description of the cruel 
tortures to which they were subjected 
and of their final execution, all of 
which they bore in Christian patience 
and fortitude. 

Of equal importance and value as 
the accounts of their sufferings and 
martyrdom are their numerous let- 
ters written in the prisons which are 
contained in this work and which pre- 
sent a mirror of the anner life of the 
martyrs. These letters 
spirit of deepest piety, devotion, and 
consecration, of glowing certainty and 
immovable conviction, of ardent love 
to God and the brotherhood. They in- 
dicate complete submissiveness to bear 


that which the Lord would permit 
concerning them; they express the 
willingness and readiness to suffer 


and, if need be, to die for the faith. 

The question is here pertinent, What 
were, in the last analysis, the motives 
in the willingness of the martyrs to 
die for the faith? One might say that 
they died for the sake of various doc- 
trines and principles, and this is in- 
deed a fact. It is true, but is not the 
whole truth. The fundamental reason 
why they held fast to these principles 
unto death was that they were con- 
vinced that to deny their faith would 
be disloyalty to Christ. Their faithful- 
ness and constancy were rooted and 
grounded in their love to ‘Christ. 

The fact deserves notice that evi- 
dently ‘there was no unhealthy, fanati- 
cal desire for martyrdom. True, a 
number of the martyrs expressed 
themselves in a way which at first 


breathe the 


glance might seem to indicate such a 
desire. For instance, Adrian Pan 
wrote that he never had a happier day ~ 
in a dungeon of Het Steen prison at 
Antwerp than the day when he was 
sentenced to death, and Julius Bern- 
arts said: “When the sentence of death 
was pronounced over me, my joy was 
full, since my redemption was so near.” 
Others also have expressed themselves 
in a similar way. But such utteranc- 
es must be considered in the light of 
the plain fact that there was abso- 
lutely no hope for liberation from 
their inhuman imprisonment during 
which they were, as a rule, at intervals 
subjected to the most cruel torture. 
To be apprehended and imprisoned 
meant certain death for them and it 
was only natural that they did not de- 
sire their time of dreadful suffering to 
be prolonged. 


Nevertheless, they were fully resign- 
ed to ‘the will of the Lord. “My dear 
friends, thus I am still minded, and I 
so love my Lord and my God that, if 
I could save my life by a thought, and 
I knew that it did not please the Lord, 
I would rather die than to think such 
a thought.” An evidence of the ab- 
sence of an unsound desire for mar- 
tyrdom is also the fact that they were 
possessed by an ardent love for their 
kin, of which there is abundant proof 
in their letters. In the letters written 
in the prisons husbands often take a 
touching farewell from their wives, 
and wives from their husbands, or 
fathers and mothers from their chil- 
dren. “Kiss my little Susanneken (pet 
name for Susanna) for me,’ Hendrik 
Verstralen wrote twice in a letter to 
his wife. Jerome Segers in his prison 
at Antwerp, having heard of the great 
grief of his wife because of his im- 
prisonment, wrote to her, after re- 
minding her of their future reunion be- 
fore the Lord: “Oh, that I might be’ 
able by my suffering to relieve your 
anxiety, I should gladly suffer death 
for you!” “We leave our dear little 
children,” wrote a woman in prison, 
“whom I would not forsake for all the 
treasures of the world; could we do 


26 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


this, if we were not 
ground?” | . 
“ The martyrs looked constantly to 


God for His presence and help, hav- 


ing the firm conviction that nothing 
could befall them without His will and 
permission. “They cannot hurt a hair 
of our head without the will of our 
Father,” wrote William Droogscherd- 
er from his prison. Another wrote: 
“My dear friends, the more tribula- 
tion there is to try us, the more we 
are.comforted through Christ; this we 
have fully experienced.” They expe- 
rienced the presence and definite help 
and comfort of the Lord. “If we 
would think of the sufferings,’ wrote 
Jan Claesson, “we would not over- 
come, but we must look beyond these 
things upon the eternal reward.” 


A girl named Elizabeth, who suffer- 
ed martyrdom in 1549 at Leeuwarden, 
said under torture: “Oh, I cannot en- 
dure it any longer.” The lords said: 


“Confess, and we will relieve your 
pain.” But she cried unto the Lord, 
her God: “Help me, O Lord, thy poor 


handmaiden! for Thou art a helper in 
time of need.’ She continued to call 
on the Lord, and He took away her 
pain, so that she said to her tormen- 
tors: “I feel’no longer any pain in my 
flesh as I did before.” They obtained 
not a word from her in the way of be- 
traying her brethren. One of the mar- 
tyrs at Basel in Switzerland said un- 
der torture: “My body is in your pow- 
er, you may brand, tear, and lacerate 
it as you may choose. But my soul 
overflows with joy through the inward 
consolation with which the Lord fills 
me.” 


Invariably, when the martyrs were 
taken to the torture chamber to be laid 
on the rack, their greatest anxiety was 
that they, in order to have the excru- 
ciating pain alleviated, might yield to 
the temptation to betray their breth- 
ren. Therefore they sometimes ex- 
pressed the desire that they might 
know less about their brethren and 
their whereabouts. Many of their let- 
ters from the prisons contain warn- 
ings against too great inquisitiveness 


sure of * our 


touching account of his torture: 


as concerned the names and dwelling 
places of those of like faith. The rec- 
ords contain many testimonies that 
under the most excruciating tortures 


no name came over their lips. They 
testified that the Lord kept their 
mouths sealed, while the inquisitors 


did all in their power “to drive out,” 
as they said, “the dumb devil.” 

- Jerome Segers gave’ the following 
“They 
tortured me severely, but the Lord 
was stronger than all their torments; 
He kept my lips. Eternal praise and 
glory be to Him who does not for- 
sake His own. They obtained no 
names from me.... They threaten- 
ed that they would torment me till the 
next morning and stretch me a foot 
longer than I was. Pouring water in- 
to my mouth they filled my body full 
of water. They had bound me with 
four cords and racked me so that it 
seemed to me as though my head and 
legs were severed from the body. ‘But 
they obtained nothing from me; spate 
and glory be to the Lord.” ; 


- There were, in passing, among the 
martyrs evidently only very few who 
were not able to write. Illiterates 
were seldom found in Mennonite cir- 
cles. The ability to read and study 
God’s Word was under ordinary con- 
ditions considered essential for a suc- 
cessful Christian life. Illiterate con- 
verts were speedily taught to read. 
The friar Cornelius, a notorious in- 
quisitor, at Bruges in Flanders, in a 
disputation with Jacob  Keersgieter, 
said that those who formerly could 
not tell an A from a B, suddenly could 
read and write after they had been re- 
baptized. It was evident, he said, that 
the devil had a hand in this. “I can 
well hear,’ said Keersgieter in reply 
to this accusation, “that you do not 
understand our way of doing, for the 
grace which God grants our converts, 
when we with all diligence teach them 
to read, you ascribe to the devil.” A 
number of the letters of the martyrs 
refer to this fact that illiterate con- 
verts were taught to read. For the 
prisoners it was almost impossible to 


obtain the light, paper and ink needed 


for writing (pencils being unknown in ~ 


that age). One of these letters was 
written with a little juice of “krake- 
berries.” 


Seottdsle vPa: 


A PRACTICAL VISION 


“A vision without a task makes a 
visionary; a task without a_ vision 
makes a drudge; a vision and a task 
make a missionary.” 
_ There are many young Christians 
looking forward to service for the 
Lord in a foreign mission field. Their 
hearts are all aflutter whenever they 
hear a missionary present the great 
need of the millions of heathen in 
Africa, India, China, or some other 
distant land. 

The desire is created in their hearts 
to bring Christ to these dying men 
and women. We do not want to stifle 
this desire, but put it to a practical 
use. 

If one with this vision waits until 
he gets to the foreign shores to win 
~ souls for Christ, he will either lose 
the vision before that time or else be 
useless in God’s service when he does 
reach the field. 

We might consider the story of the 
demoniac of Gadara as related in the 
fifth chapter of Mark. This man was 
.in awful bondage. He had yielded his 
body to Satan and had become demon- 
possessed, not by one demon, but by 
many. 

Our Lord set him free from this tor- 
ment. The joy and gratitude of the 
Gadarene knew no bounds. Immedi- 
ately he prayed the Lord Jesus that 
he might be with Him. “Howbeit, 
Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto 
him; go home to thy friends, and tell 
them how great things the Lord hath 
done for thee, and hath had compas- 
sion on thee. And he departed, and 
began to publish in Decapolis how 
great things Jesus had done for him: 
and all men did marvel” (Mark 5:19, 
20). 


Learn this lesson: “Go home first; 


AND DIRECTORY =. 27 


tell your loved ones, your friends. Aft- 
er that you may go out into the world 
and spread the good news that ‘the 
Blood of Christ cleanseth us from all 
sin.” ” | 

D. L. Moody once. met a young fel- 


. low on a train. This young man was 


bubbling over with the prospect of go- 
ing to Africa and winning the heathen 
for Christ. Mr. Moody asked him a 
very, pertinent question, “How many 
souls. have you brought to. the Lord 
here at home?” After a brief pause, he 
answered truthfully, “I do not know of 
one soul that I have won.” .. » 

This word in due season, dropped 
by God’s faithful servant, made the 
young fellow think. As a consequence, 
he got busy for Christ. 

He was a soul-winner here at home, 
and later God gave hima fruitful min- 
istry in ‘Africa. 

If you don’t win souls at home, you 
won't win them anywhere. _ 


“Do not wait until some deed of great- 
ness’ you may do, 
Do not wait to shed your light afar. 
To the many duties ever near you, now 
be true, 
Testify for Jesus where you are.” 


—The Pilot. 


“IF GOD BE FOR US”! . 


“Tf God be for us, who can be 
against us’? says the Apostle. It is 
not only that the strength of God is 
for us to meet every difficulty and foe, 
but His Presence produces liberty and 
confidence in our hearts, for we feel 
that we have the knowledge of His 
will, since He is with us. The sense 
of His Presence gives joy, calmness, 
and courage in presence of the enemy, 
and in the difficulties of the way we 
rest in Him. “Thou shalt hide them 
in the secret of Thy Presence from 
the pride of man: Thou shalt keep. 
them secretly in a pavilion from the 
strife of tongues.” The Presence of 
God, a true and real thing for the 
heart, keeps the conscience awake, andi 
the heart filled with quiet confidence. 
—Evan. Vis.

CALLED HOME 





By Daniel Kauffman 


In a church of 50,000 members it 
is safe to estimate that from 500 to 
1000 members are called each year to 
answer the summons from on high. 
This number should be kept in mind 
as we figure on the net gain in mem- 
bership. Among those called are men 
and women, boys and girls, of all ages 
—some prepared for the great change 
and some unprepared. In this as in all 
other things, “God is no respecter of 
persons.” 

Among those in our ranks who were 
called from time to eternity during 
the past year were a goodly number 
of active workers and leaders who 
were known beyond the borders of 
their home community or district. 
Space will not permit mention of all 
these, but we shall write briefly of a 
few of them. 

Ebersole, Melinda (1860 - 1933).— 
Died March 6. She was born in Lan- 
caster Co., Pa., and in her childhood 
years accompanied her parents to Sterl- 
ing, Ill. In her early years she was 
converted, united with the Mennonite 


Church, and continued faithful to the 
end. She was, for many years, a 
faithful worker in the Mennonite Home 
Mission in Chicago. 


Coffman, Joseph W. (1857-1933) — 
Died April 26. He was a life-long res- 
ident of the Shenandoah Valley in 
Virginia; a son of Bishop Samuel Coff- 
man and brother of J. S. Coffman the 
pioneer Mennonite evangelist. He 
united with the Mennonite Church in 
1879 and was ordained to the ministry 
in 1907. He was active in the work of 
the Lord, spending much of his time 
in the West Virginia fieldsas well as 
in his home district.. Every enterprise 
in the Church that had the stamp of 
loyalty on it had also the whole-heart- 
ed support of Joseph W. Coffman. 


Good, Solomon RR. (1871-1933).— 
Died May 17. He was born near Dale 
Enterprise, Va., the son of Christian 
and Anna (Heatwole) Good. His fa- 
ther was a bishop, and two of his bro- 
thers—Samuel (deceased) and Aaron 
C.—were and are in the ministry. From 
the time of his conversion he took an 
active interest in the work of the 
Church, being a member of district 
and General Mission Boards a num- 


f 


AND DIRECTORY 31 





ber of years. As a young man he 
moved -to Sterling, Ill, where he was 
ordained a deacon in the Science Ridge 
congregation in 1923. 

Bowman, Moses C. (1855-1933) .-— 
Died April 28. He was a faithful min- 
ister of the Gospel for over 44 years, 
serving the congregation at Mann- 
heim, Ont. He was widely known, 
took an active interest in the affairs 
of the Church, and traveled extensive- 
ly. His voice was heard in many 
churches and conferences. 

Lineweaver, William T. (1846-1933). 
—Died May 26.. He was a pioneer 
member of the Church in Keokuk Co., 
Towa. He and S. B. Wenger, who is 
still an active member, began active 
work, about forty years ago, to build 
up a congregation in their own com- 
munity. Liberty Church, near South 
English, Iowa, is a result of their la- 
bors. He served his congregation as 
deacon for many years. 

-Smeltzer, Samuel: (1857-1933).—Died 
June 25. He was a lifelong resident 
of Elkhart Co., Ind., and served the 
Holdeman congregation near Waka- 
rusa as deacon for over 35 years. His 
counsels were much esteemed and his 
services appreciated. 

Westenberger, David (1857-1933) .— 
Died July 7. He was for many years 
a bishop in Lebanon. Co., -Pa., and 
faithful in the performance of his du- 
ties. He was seldom absent from con- 
ferences in his district and took an 


active interest in the affairs of the 
Church. 
Winey, Caleb (1849-1933). — Died 


Aug. 30. He was born in Juniata Co., 
Pa., the eldest son of Bishop Samuel 
Winey. In 1879 he moved with his 
family to Osborne Co., Kans., where 
he was_called to the ministry soon af- 
terwards. Later he moved to Marion 
Co., Kans., where he served faithfully 
as one of the ministers in Catlin 
Church near Peabody. His last years 
‘were spent in a hospital ‘in Goessel, 
Kans., being an invalid, but he bore 
his afflictions patiently—his patience 
in afflictions being one of his most 
‘eloquent sermons. 


Brubaker, Isaac H. (1858-1933).— 
Died Sept. 2. He was a lifelong resi- 
dent of Lancaster Co., Pa. He was a 
member of Erisman’s congregation, 
where he was ordained minister in 
1907. Thirteen years later he was or- 
dained a bishop in his bishop district, 
which place he filled faithfully until 
declining health interfered with his 
active ministry. He was faithful, loy- 
al, and active, and his voice in con- 
ference was always listened to with 
interest. 


Kreider, Jonas M. (1857-1933). — 
Died Oct. 22. He was born, lived, and 
died in Medina Co., O., with the excep- 
tion of a few years that he lived in 
Texas. He united with the Mennonite 
Church in 1892 and two years later 
was ordained to the ministry. Bethel 
Church, near Wadsworth, was his spe- 
cial charge, but the whole Church held 
his interests. Among his coworkers in 
the ministry were N. A. Lind, now in 
Oregon, and S. D. Rohrer, the present 
minister in charge. 

Lehman, John K. (1874-1933).—Died 
Nov. 5. He was born near Wakarusa, 
Ind., and died near Tofield, Alta. He 
and his family were among the pioneer 
members near Mayton, Alta., where 
he was ordained to the ministry in 
1906. Later he moved to Tofield, where 
his labors were ended while he was 
yet in the prime of life. 

Moyer, Tobias E. (1863 - 1933).— 
Died Nov. 10. He was born in the 
Franconia District, Pa., where he lived 
until he was called to assume active 
charge of the Mennonite Old People’s 
Home near Lancaster, Pa. .In. early 
life he gave his heart to the Lord, u- 
nited with the Mennonite Church, and 
for 22 years prior to his death rendered 
faithful service as steward in the Men- 
nonite Home. 

Bomberger, Tobias (1855-1933).— 
Died Nov. 13. His life was spent in

Rickert, Allen (1848-1933).— Died 
Dec. 13. He was born in Bucks Co., 
Pa., but when an infant his parents 
moved to Medina Co., Ohio. In his 
early manhood he moved to Mahoning

the Church was maintained to the last. 
Stalter, Anna (1874-1933). — Died 
Dec. 21. She was born and died in the 
vicinity of Elida, Ohio. She is known

missionary in India, where her labors 
are still remembered with appreciation.

Dec. 26. He was a lifelong resident of 
Rockingham Co., Va., but widely 
known to the brotherhood in other 
districts. He was ordained a deacon 
in 1899, in which capacity he served 
faithfully until near the close of his life.

THE SECRET OF A HAPPY DAY 





Just to let thy Father do 
What He will; 

Just to know that He is true 
And be still. 

Just to follow, hour by hour, 
As He leadeth, 

Just to draw the moment’s power 
As it needeth. 

Just to take the loss or gain 

' As He sends it; 

Just to take the joy or pain 
As He lends it; 

Just to leave in His dear hand 
Little things, 

All we cannot understand, 
All that stings. 

This is all and yet the way 
Marked by Him who loves thee best; 

Secret of a happy day 
Secret of His promised rest. 

—Frances Ridley Havergal. 


PRESENT WORK AND OBJEC- 
TIVES OF THE GENERAL 
SUNDAY SCHOOL COM- 
MITTEE 





By A. J. Metzler 


It is now nearly one hundred years 
since the beginning of Sunday school 
work in the Mennonite ‘Church of 
America. During that time the Lord 
has raised up many faithful leaders in 
the work and has been pleased to bless 
it as a mighty agency in the teaching 
of His Word. It has also been greatly 
used of God as an evangelizing agen- 
cy, as an institution for the training of 
Christian workers, and as a means of 
opening new fields of Christian serv- 
ice. 

As a result of conviction and after 
a number of years of careful, prayerful 
planning the General Sunday School 
Committee was brought into existence 
eighteen years ago. The purpose of 
this new organization was to have a 
group of faithful, able, and experienced 
brethren constantly studying better 
ways and means to more effective Bi- 
ble teaching, and to be ready to advise 
and direct the schools in attaining that 
end. This committee has done much 
faithful work along these lines during 
the past years, although, due to change 
of personnel and other conditions, it 
has sometimes been somewhat hin- 
dered in doing its best. 


During recent years new opportuni- 
ties for service have presented them: 
selves to our committee. Although the 
Sunday school still remains the 
Church’s greatest single agency for 
the systematic teaching of the Word, 
yet there are other avenues for Bible 
teaching being developed which re- . 
quire much careful study, planning, and 
supervision. 

The present and future sphere of ac- 
tivity and work, for which the General 
Sunday School Committee is respon- 
sible, might be clearly and definitely 
defined as follows: While the Mennon- 
ite Board of Education is responsible 
for the Church’s Christian educational 


’ a ANE DIRECT OR Vas. 33 


work as carried on at her centralized 
church schools, the General Sunday 
School Committee is responsible for 
the Christian educational work of the 
Church in its various forms as carried 
on in the local congregations through- 
out- the Church. This clearly defines 
our field of work, and it is a great field. 

We appreciate the good work which 
has been done by the Church in pro- 
viding definite Bible teaching for young 
and old in each congregation. But 
when we carefully study the Word to 
see God’s plan for preaching to the 
world and for teaching the Church, 
and especially the children, we are 
made to realize that we have a long 
way to go until we come near to what 
might be done. This conviction cf 
what might be and should be done is 
deepened when we realize that God 
has so constituted the child that its 
future for time and eternity depends 
largely upon its training in the Scrip- 
tures in early and tender years. 

Up until a generation or two ago 
the young people between the ages of 
twelve and twenty-two years were giv- 
en practically no place in the Church. 
The past generation has made the 
proper provision for them. There is 
splendid and Scriptural means provid- 
ed for their evangelism, instruction, 
training, and service. Of course there 
is room for improvement. : 

In like manner we firmly believe tha 
the Church’s present and great task is 
to make the proper Scriptural provi- 
sion for sufficient and effective Bible 
teaching for our youth below the age 
of twelve, as well as above -that age. 
Again we want to acknowledge the 
good work already done. But in view 
of what: should be done, in view of 
what God expects us to do, in view 
of what we must do, our past efforts 
are only the beginning of thorough, 
definite, and systematic Bible teaching 
for our girls and boys in every con- 
gregation. 

In the studying, planning, promot- 
ing, and supervising of this division of 
the Lord’s work lies the colossal task 
of the General Sunday School Com- 


mittee. We keenly realize that it is 
not only a great but a sacred task. It 
is. not only for time but for eternity. 
It is not man’s work, but God’s. Di- 
vine wisdom and strength are need- 
ed, and only with the close coopera- 
tion of home, other phases of church 
work, and the church in general, can 
we have the assurance of God’s bless- 
ings upon the work. 

As previously mentioned the Sun- 
day school is the Church’s present most 
effective agency for the systematic 
teaching of the Word. We believe that 
it will be such for some time to come. 
And especially do we believe that it 
will continue to hold the central place 
in our Christian educational program 
in the local congregations, if the prop- 
er pains are taken to improve its ef- 
ficiency and usefulness. : 


Ways in which the Sunday school 
will need constant improvement are 
as follows: Better administration, a 
stronger teaching force, improved cur- 
riculum, better adapted buildings and 
equipment, and a closer cooperation of 
the home and all church workers, local 
and in general. To this end our com- 
mittee, through its officers and author- 
ized subcommittees, is working. 

Another valuable means of Bible in- 
struction which has come into promi- 
nence during the past decade is the 


Summer Bible School.. The Lord is al- 


so blessing this work. A properly con- 
ducted Summer Bible School gives a 
congregation the opportunity of offer- 
ing their girls and boys as much more 
Bible instruction as they are now re- 
ceiving in the Sunday school. This 
work is gaining. During the past year 
one conference had Summer Bible 
Schools in about half of their Sunday 
schools. The same district has plans 
for additional schools during the com- 
ing year, which will mean the con- 
ducting of Summer Bible Schools in 
about two-thirds of their Sunday 
schools. What is being done in this 
rural district can be done in most sec- 
tions. 

Here, too, there are many problems. 
Much time and energy have been spent 


34 MENNONITE YEAR-BOOK 


in this field during the past number of 
years. Its chief work has been the 
preparing of a course of study. This 
is being done through the Summer 
Bible School Committee and associated 
assistants, under the direction of the 
General Sunday School Committee. It 
is planned to have the entire course in 
ten grades in that number of manuals 
ready for distribution by the coming 
spring. This is truly one of the greatest 


single steps in Christian educational 


work which the Mennonite Church has 
undertaken. 

Another important phase of our com- 
mittee’s work which has received new 
impetus recently is the Teacher Train- 
ing program. As previously reported in 
our church papers, a new course was 
approved at the last General Confer- 
ence. This is receiving a hearty recep- 
tion and meeting a real need through- 
out the Church. The continued promo- 
tion and direction of this work will 
constitute an important part of the 
committee’s interests and activity. 


The General Sunday School Com- 
mittee has always given much atten- 
tion to promoting the mission inter- 
ests of the Church. It has encouraged 
and aided in the providing and direct- 


ing of mission study courses and class- 
es. In codperation with the Mission 
Board we have sponsored the quarter 
investments and saving boxes among 
the Sunday school girls and boys. This 
work has done more than provide 
thousands of dollars for orphans and 
other needy children at home and a- 
broad. It has been a means of de- 
veloping real missionary interest and 
conviction. 

We have endeavored to outline a few 
of the things which engage the inter- 
ests of the Committee for the present. 
It is the Lord’s work. We are servants 
of God and of the Church. We desire 
your prayers. We invite your con- 
structive criticisms and suggestions. 
May we work and pray unitedly in 
this important phase of the Lord’s 
work. »

DOCTRINES OF THE BIBLE 


A comprehensive book, treating on all 
the major doctrines of the Bible. It is ana- 
lytical in its treatment of subjects, yet as a 
whole is an interesting and readable book 
for all classes of people. Ministers, students, 
Christian workers, and those who enjoy 
reading for devotional purposes will find 
something here that will appeal to them. It 
‘will serve as a ready reference book in the 
Christian home. | 

The book is divided into eight parts: 
God; Man; God and Man; Realms of Dark- 
ness; God’s Plan of Salvation; The Church; 

Christian Life; The Future. The chapters 
are carefully subdivided and outlined. It 
gives a brief discussion of Scripture teach- 
ings as set.forth in God’s Word. 

This book should be in every Mennonite home. One of our min- 
isters in recommending it to his congregation held up a copy and said, 
“This is the strongest book of our faith that I ever read.” Send us 
your order for a copy at once before you neglect it, or give your order 
to your local representative. 


The book contains 640 pages, size 6x8%% inches, substantially 
bound in dark blue cloth with gold lettering. Each, postpaid......$ 2.00

MENNONITE HISTORICAL REFERENCE WORKS 





CENTENNIAL HISTORY Oe Gi Nt eN Ne Ge 
OF [TLULNO1S :\1329,1929 


By Harry F. WEBER 


In a volume of almost 700 pages, the author traces in detail the history 
of the Mennonites of Illinois from the very first settlement in 1829, now more 
than a hundred years ago, down to the present time. He has spared no pains in 
preparing an accurate survey of the early prairie settlements, and traces the 
growth of these early settlements into the large communities with hundreds 
of members supporting active church organizations and charitable institutions. 
The story includes interesting accounts of pioneer life, together with a descrip- 
tion of the growth of the pioneer religious life and organization of the newly 
arrived Mennonite immigrants from Alsace and South Germany into religious 
organizations with Sunday Schools, mission enterprises, young people’s ac- 
tivities, and the like. 

This volume is exhaustive, not only in covering all the nine branches within 
the state, but also in giving a detailed account of every congregation and in- 
stitution in the various branches. The volume is encyclopedic in character, and 
will without doubt remain the standard work in its field. Its usefulness is much 
increased by maps, illustrations, statistical tables, a biographical appendix, and 
several extensive indices.

MENNONITES OF “LANCASTER “CONFERENCE 


By MartTIn G. WEAVER 


The author has spared no time or expense in gathering the historical mat- 
ter necessary for a publication of this kind. The original purpose of this work, 
as related by the author, was to make a record and a comparison of the growth 
or decline of the many Mennonite Congregations in Lancaster County, and to 
compile a complete list of all bishops, ministers, and deacons with the dates 
and terms of service, as well as to record the location of the early meetinghouses 
and the dates of their erection, ending with the list of the present congregations, 
Sunday schools, and other departments in the service of God, as conducted by 
the church. This purpose has been accomplished with added historical matter 
of general interest. 

The material is arranged by Bishop Districts and can readily be understood 
by all. The enlarged chapter on Sunday Schools, Missions and Charitable In- 
stitutions in the Conference district is of more than passing interest. 

A chapter is devoted to the work of the Lancaster Conference. This is of 
vital importance and will be of interest to the entire Mennonite church body. 
Other Mennonite bodies located within the borders of the Lancaster Conference 
District are included in the history in a brief way. A chapter is devoted to the 
list of Church leaders in other Mennonite conferences who came originally 
from Lancaster Conference. Practically all the leading conferences in the 
United States and Canada have been affected by this emigration in earlier years. 

A complete record is given of ordinations of bishops, ministers, and deacons 
with dates of death and ages within the Lancaster Conference District. 

The book contains about 550 pages including 47 illustrations. Some of the 
early landmarks as well as a number of the present meetinghouses are shown 
by the illustrations. Size of pages 534 by 8% inches. Bound in cloth with side 
and back stamps in gold.
